Mercantile Marine Department, Mumbai

Examination, Assessment and Certification Branch
Answer: You need to submit only the photocopy of valid medical
certificate for the purpose of revalidation. No need to get another new
medical certificate for the purpose of making an application to the
MMD.
5.

Question: I have a UK GMDSS certificate with valid

endorsement. Will that be acceptable for the purpose
of revalidation of my Indian COC?
Answer: Yes. Any UK GMDSS certificate obtained prior to 31st Dec 2002,
with valid endorsement from UK MCA, will be accepted for the purpose
of revalidation of Indian COC. However if your UK GMDSS is due to
expire shortly then you need to renew your UK GMDSS first prior to
making an application for revalidation of Indian COC.

6.

Question: I had revalidated my COC in 2013/2014 after

complying with all the requirements such as RUT
course, refresher course and other courses. However
my COC was revalidated up to 31st Dec 2016 only, due
to some administrative reasons. How can I extend the
validity of my COC to full five years?
Answer: Prior to 1st Jan 2015, all the certificates were issued or
revalidated up to 31st Dec 2016 only. However, subsequent to the
notification of M.S. (STCW) Rules 2014, from 1st Jan 2015 onwards, all
the certificates are being issued with a validity of full five year period.
In your case, the validity of the COC can be extended up to five years
from the date of completion of Refresher and Updating (RUT) training
course, by the MMD, without doing any additional courses. But you
need to obtain the COC as GMDSS Radio Operator if the same was not
obtained earlier.
For example if you had completed your RUT course on 15th November
2014 then the validity of your COC will be extended up to 14th
November 2019.
You need to submit the same application form for Revalidation of COC
as mentioned in Question No.1, which can be downloaded from the
MMD Website. http://mmd.gov.in:7778/downloads.html

7.

Question: I am presently undergoing a RUT course in

one of the DGS approved institute. Is it compulsory to
submit the application for revalidation of COC only
through the institute? OR Can I submit the application

MMD Mumbai/AKA/Oct15/FAQ/Issue.0
14

Page 3 of

Mercantile Marine Department, Mumbai

Examination, Assessment and Certification Branch
to the MMD directly upon completion of the RUT
course?
Answer: If you have already completed all the other training
requirements such as ECDIS course, refresher courses in PST,
PSCRB,FPFF and AFFF, etc., then it is compulsory to submit your final
application for revalidation through the institutes only to avoid
crowding at the MMD. The concerned institute will be required to pay
the applicable fees (collected from the candidates) in the Syndicate
Bank and submit all the applications to the MMD together.
However, if you still need to complete some essential courses after
completion of the RUT course then you may also submit an application
to the MMD directly whenever you are ready with all the documents.
The basic principle is you need to come to MMD only once for the
purpose of revalidation.
8.

My Certificate of Competency (COC) is expiring after 5

months and I have done my revalidation/up-gradation
courses as per STCW 2010 now. Will my COC be
revalidated for 5 years from the date of expiry of my
present COC or it will be from the date I completed my
revalidation course?
Answer: Normally the COCs are being revalidated for a period of five
years from the date of completion of Refresher and Up-gradation
course (RUT) under STCW 2010. However, in order to encourage
renewal of COC before its expiry date, under the revised provisions of
STCW, currently COCs are being revalidated for a period of five years
from the date of expiry of COC, if an officer is applying for revalidation
within six months prior to its expiry.
Hence in your case the COC will be re-validated for a further period of
five years from the date of expiry marked in the COC and not from the
date of completion of RUT course.

9.

Question: At present I have the valid GMDSS COP

issued by the Ministry of Communications and STCW
endorsement of GMDSS (valid or expired) issued by
the MMD few years back. How do I get the new Indian
COC as GMDSS Radio Operator which is essential for
revalidating my COC as Master or Deck officer?

MMD Mumbai/AKA/Oct15/FAQ/Issue.0
14

Page 4 of

Mercantile Marine Department, Mumbai

Examination, Assessment and Certification Branch
Answer: Firstly you need to ensure your GMDSS COP issued by the
Ministry of Communications is valid. If it is not valid, you should make
an application to the WPC wing for renewal of GMDSS certificate.
Please bear in mind that normally it takes around 30 days for obtaining
a renewal sticker for GMDSS from WPC.
If your GMDSS COP is valid then you can make an application to the
MMD Mumbai on any working days between 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM.
The format of application and the checklist detailing the list of
documents required and the criteria to be met for obtaining the new
Indian COC as GMDSS Radio Operator can be downloaded from the
website of MMD. http://mmd.gov.in:7778/downloads.html
10.

Question: My GMDSS certificate is valid. Can you

briefly explain the requirements for obtaining the
COC as GMDSS Radio Operator from MMD?
Answer: You need to have the following:
a) Valid GMDSS COP issued by the WPC wing of the Ministry of
Communications. (Provisional certificate can also be accepted in
case of newly certified officers.)
b) Copy of valid medical fitness certificate
c) Evidence of Minimum one year of sea service in the preceding five
years performing Radio Communication duties. In absence of sea
service, evidence of equivalent service ashore performing Radio
Communication duties can also be accepted.
Alternatively, If you do not have the required sea service or
equivalent service ashore in the last five years then you need to
complete the GMDSS course again and submit the course
completion certificate for obtaining or renewing your COC as
GMDSS Radio Operator.

11.

Question: How many days will it take to obtain my

COC as GMDSS Radio Operator?
Answer: If you have submitted your application with all the necessary
documents to the MMD Mumbai, then the certificate will be issued
within a maximum of two working days.

12.

Question: I need to revalidate my Masters COC. For

that I need to get my GMDSS COC also. Is it possible
for me to apply both at the same time to avoid
multiple visits to the MMD Mumbai?

MMD Mumbai/AKA/Oct15/FAQ/Issue.0
14

Page 5 of

Mercantile Marine Department, Mumbai

Examination, Assessment and Certification Branch
Answer: Yes. If you have already complied with all the other
requirements such as RUT course, refresher courses, ECDIS course,
SSO/STSDSD course, etc., then you can submit the application for
revalidation and application for GMDSS COC simultaneously at MMD
Mumbai. You will get both the revalidated COC and Indian GMDSS COC
within two working days together.
13.

Question: Presently, I have valid STCW GMDSS

endorsement which will expire only in 31st Dec 2016.
Do I still need to get the new Indian COC, as GMDSS
Radio Operator, for the purpose of revalidating my
COC as Master or Deck officer?
Answer: Yes. In order to revalidate and upgrade your COC with validity
beyond 31st Dec 2016, it is essential to obtain the new COC as GMDSS
Radio Operator now. Your existing STCW GMDSS endorsement will be
cancelled upon issuance of COC as GMDSS Radio Operator.

14.

Question: I have a UK GMDSS certificate. Can I obtain

a COC as GMDSS Radio operator from India?
Answer: No. You should renew your GMDSS endorsement from UK MCA
only. Also, there is no need for you to obtain COC as GMDSS Radio
Operator from India.

15.

Question: What is the difference between STCW

endorsement on GMDSS which was issued before,
and the COC as GMDSS Radio Operator which is
being issued now?
Answer: As far as seafarers are concerned, the purpose of both
remains same. Subsequent to the 2010 Manila Amendments to the
STCW Convention, the status of GMDSS qualification has been
elevated from Certificate of Proficiency to Certificate of Competency.
Hence the nomenclature of the certificate has been changed to COC
as GMDSS Radio Operator. From 1st Jan 2017, all the deck officers must
hold COC as GMDSS Radio Operator instead of STCW endorsement on
GMDSS.

16.

acceptable for the purpose of revalidation or issuance
of COCs?
Answer: No. According to the directives issued by the Directorate

RPSL agencies approved by the DGS. Hence the sea service performed
through non-RPSL agencies will not be recognized by the MMD.
24.

a sailing experience on Tankers. Can I get a COP in

DCE?

Tankers for many years. I am also having the level 2
DCE for Oil Tankers. In the past I have not done any
